About Pa’ina Waikiki
Right in the heart of Waikiki, Pa'ina Waikiki transforms the Waikiki Beach Marriott into an evening of song, dance and royal history. A lei greeting and welcome Mai Tai set the stage before graceful hula kahiko honors Queen Lili'uokalani and the elegant homes that once lined these very grounds. Produced by Tihati Productions, the show pairs award-winning musicians, keiki performers and world fireknife champions for an unforgettable night beneath the palms.
Guests are encouraged to join craft stations and the Ori Ori Tatou E audience dance before settling in for a prime rib buffet and a fiery finale that lights up the beachfront sky.
